I’ve asked my kids to fetch my glasses for me a few times… They know not to handle the lenses…

nobody knows I’m a cat.

Actually I was thinking you might be tasty…

I have memories of being 12-13 years old and my sister (3 years older) and I having to push-start our mom’s Renault LeCar…

Tomato, tomato…

Pot, kettle…

Whoa… Bad choice of words…

Or great, depends on what you were going for…

If you want to confuse people… I pronounce /etc as “ets”, but one of my coworkers recently called it “slash e t c” and I had to ask him to repeat it a couple times before I figured out what he meant…

Have you ever tried catching flies? Vinegar works better than honey, after all, flies eat shit.

The hell I would…

Having worked both retail and call center, no, they’re not in the same league. People can be assholes over the phone, absolutely, but it’s quite different from face-to-face. Someone threatens to kill me over the phone, I can say “I’d like to see you try” and hang up, and the worst that happens is I get fired. In person, they can carry out the threat.

It’s nice when you have a boss that has your back. I worked at RadioShack back in the day, and the manager of the store I stayed at the longest was like that. Of course we didn’t have the whole x items or less, but we were in a busy college area, only on-street parking, so we’d get people running in and wanting to be served immediately regardless of how busy we were because they were double parked. The boss empowered us to tell them to fuck off, politely of course. “Come back when you have more time, we’ll be happy to help”. Also, we were next to a parking lot, it wasn’t ours, though we did have a couple of spots that were clearly marked employee parking only. Few things gave the boss more pleasure than calling a tow truck… Literally rubbing his hands with glee on multiple occasions.

I never worked food service, but I did my time in retail… That “Well we’re here now” just gave me a PTSD-like flashback…

To be super pedantic, no, ownership of your money never transfers to visa. When your card is swiped (tapped, whatever) visa (or mc or Amex or whoever else) facilitates communication between your bank and the merchant’s bank, but no money moves yet. At the end of the day the merchant settles out those transactions, but that’s still just data. The money moves typically a day or two later, and that is done directly between the customer and merchant’s bank. Source: worked in credit card processing for ~9 years.

I feel like “chose to have” is a bit strong when “chose not to abort” might be more accurate…

They’re safer than humans already. It’s just you hear about every robocar crash because they’re unusual, and every time one happens, the whole industry learns from it. With humans driving, it’s doubtful the people involved learn from a crash, let alone anyone else, we just accept it as inevitable.

I know you are but what am I?

Have I just experienced youngsplaining?

Just to be the man who died 12000 times to … rise up at your door? Bbbrains…

Holy poeslaw Batman!

More importantly, people say they’ve changed…
